Battery life - drops fast below 40%

I have been tracking battery life and how I am using it for a couple of weeks now, trying to correlate use, settings, or whatever to burn. I have not come up with much, but I have noticed one concern - battery drop is much faster once the watch is below 40%. For example, it was at 35% this morning and 6 hours later, it is at 25%. That's on track for 40%per day with no interesting just smart watch and steps in effect. The drop from 100% to 35% took 2.5 days and included 3 hours of GPS biking activity - which were about 11% each - making the non-GPS drain about 17% per day.

Has anyone else tracked and noticed a faster drain when the watch is already under 40%?

  • I have noticed something similar, in the opposite end of the scale. When I charge the watch to 100 percent, it will still be at 100 percent well after one night of sleep. The scale is not linear. 

  • So, I have gotten quite a few replacements for various issues with my VA4 and just got another brand new one. It does the same thing - reasonable battery use until about 40% left and then drops to 10% in half a day.

    I wish I could figure what I am doing differently than others. I am still stuck with about 3.5 days before charging with no GPS activities.
